## Special Rules

### ESLint

Fields are sorted by the order they are listed below:

| Key                           | Rules                                                               |

| globals                       |                                                                     |

### Git Hooks

- `post-index-chang`

### Prettier

Keys are sorted alphabetically except for `overrides`, which is placed last. Keys are also sorted in `overrides` and `overrides.options` items.

### Wireit

Script names are sorted alphabetically. Each script's properties use the order from [wireit's own examples](https://github.com/google/wireit), with remaining properties sorted alphabetically:

| Key          | Rules                                        |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------------- |
| command      |                                              |
| dependencies | Key order (per item): `script`, `cascade`    |
| files        |                                              |
| output       |                                              |
| _remaining_  | Alphabetical, with nested object key sorting |

### Scripts

Keys are sorted alphabetically except for [pre/post scripts](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v6/using-npm/scripts#pre--post-scripts). Those are placed before and after their corresponding base npm script.

An example - notice how `preinstall` and `postinstall` are placed before and after `install`:

```json
{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "",
    "preinstall": "",
    "install": "",
    "postinstall": "",
    "lint": ""
  }
}
```

Scripts for which the pre/post order is applied:

- install
- pack
- prepare
- publish
- restart
- shrinkwrap
- start
- stop
- test
- uninstall
- version
